Last month I announced that I wanted to see more of the county in which I live in the UK. As a group, travel bloggers generally ignore what’s on our doorsteps in favour of foreign climbs and bucket list entries, when there’s bound to be some special places closer to home, if we just explored more in our…

I can’t think of a better way to spend a few days in January than relaxing on a spa break. The cold miserable weather and infamous post-Christmas blues is not conducive to continuing great spirit, so what better way to banish the doldrums than curling up in front of a roaring fire with a good book at one…

Garden Centres are great places aren’t they? Cream teas and coffee catch-ups, gifts, local artisan products, chutneys galore (if you weren’t aware – I have a bit of a thing for chutney!) I never go to buy compost or plants or anything like that, perish the thought… (I am clearly not a gardener!) Not since I lived…

Find a patch of green, a park, a wild open space and come autumn the place will undoubtedly transform into a veritable treasure trove of gold and ruby red vegetation with a crunchy amber carpet of fallen leaves, often sparkling in the sunlight. And in that month before the carpet turns to a dull sludge, the world is truly magical…

If you’re not lucky enough to live by the sea, I can imagine that you’d want to save your precious days off to visiting a coastal destination during the warmer summer months.

Autumn at Craig-y-nos Country Park October arrived and the trees where I live were refusing to change colour. I wondered if autumn proper would ever arrive.

Tilly Horseman

My name is Tilly and I'm an artist, craftsperson and writer, with a passion for photography and innate need to travel. I'm a cross stitch fiend and have a slightly unhealthy love of jigsaws.
My taste for travel developed during my school days when I toured the UK visiting galleries, museums and sculpture sites for my Art studies, and continued to thrive during my 20's where I became obsessed with architecture, heritage and culture, visiting castles, cathedrals, historic properties and going on city breaks all over the world.
I love the Great Outdoors also, walking whenever I can and am addicted to the English Lake District and chasing waterfalls!
Follow my adventures as I wander, eat and explore my way around the UK, Europe and North America.
